The refrigeration industry is undergoing a profound transformation as the world accelerates its efforts to combat climate change. Traditional refrigerants such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), although effective in cooling performance, are known for their high global warming potential (GWP). In response, policymakers, industry leaders, and standardization organizations are working together to promote low-carbon refrigeration technologies. Among the alternatives, carbon dioxide (CO₂, R744) refrigeration systems have emerged as one of the most promising solutions. This article explores the progress of international standardization for low-carbon refrigeration technologies, with a particular focus on CO₂ systems and their role in shaping a sustainable future.

For most people, snow is something that only belongs to winter. Yet in recent years, you might have seen surprising scenes in the news: in a southern city plaza, snow falls in the middle of summer; in a theme park, visitors wearing T-shirts can build snowmen and throw snowballs. So here’s the question: how is it possible to make it snow at 30°C? What technology makes this happen? The answer lies in the snowmaking machine. Snowmaking machines are not entirely new, but with the rise of winter sports, snow tourism, and ice-themed cultural projects, they are becoming more and more…
